Freedom or *freedom*? Posted Nov 2, 2006 18:23 UTC (Thu) by atai (subscriber, #10977) [Link] Debian already settled the issue with GFDL with one of their general resolutions. So don't cook old news again.
Freedom or *freedom*? Posted Nov 2, 2006 18:47 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] The settlement accepted GFDL documents that don't have invariant sections. However, the manuals put out by the FSF for their most important programs (e.g. gcc, gdb, emacs) have invariant sections, so Debian does not distribute them. I think that this was a reasonable compromise on Debian's part (it allows them to distribute all of the Gnome documentation, for example), but the rejection of invariant sections is still a point of dispute between Debian and the FSF.
